Italian teacher, blogger and podcaster. Founder of the project Ilazed, the website with plenty of explanations and free resources
I am Ilaria. I am an Italian native speaker, and I started teaching Italian to foreigners as a full-time job in 2017.
I have built my entire career around the Italian language, and today I run a blog (written in Italian and English) and several podcasts in which I talk about the Italian language (grammar, explanations, and tips for learning this language) and the Italian culture.
I love my job, and it allows me to meet interesting people from around the world.
If you have any questions or concerns about my classes, write to me!
I can't wait to hear from you! :)
Me as a Teacher
My teaching method is focused on the students, and during the first lesson, I ask my students why they want to learn Italian and the goals they want to reach.
At the beginning of each lesson, I'll ask the students if they have any questions from the previous classes or about something they have listened to or seen; only after that we'll start the new lesson!
I am a supportive person, and I will constantly be there to guide you during the challenge of learning a foreign language!
My lessons & teaching style
During the class, according to your level and your needs, we will focus on:
- grammar
- pronunciation,
- conversation,
- explanations of your questions and doubts,
- the most common Italian idioms and expressions.

Ilaria is such a nice person, you can talk with her about literally ANYTHING! She knows a lot about italian culture and history and manages to explain even complicated grammar in an easy way.
Oh and also, she constantly(!!!) makes you feel awesome about your Italian, which is very motivating :)

Very engaging and helpful instructor, with a superior knowledge of grammar. Has the capacity to explain in clear terms how to improve communicating in Italian, and is very good at picking up on the little details that helps a person be more clearly understood by a native speaker of Italian.
